Deck Building Plans

A quiet evening spent relaxing on a deck chair overlooking your garden seems like a very comforting idea! The deck serves as a transition zone between your house and garden. Deck is an alternative to a patio when the ground around your house is particularly uneven, sloped or soggy. Of course its a matter of choice and style too. The deck is a little bit more of extra outdoor living space for you and your family to enjoy the view of the garden. In this article I share some tips on how to go about designing your deck building plans.


Tips on Designing Deck Building Plans
If you want things to be done in a certain specific way, it is best that you plan and execute them yourself! Same goes with designing deck building plans. Instead of sticking to ready made plans, you can design your deck taking your special needs into consideration. Deck building is a great way of making maximum use of your outdoor living space. A deck can be a great place for quite contemplation, relaxation and it can also double up as a party place.

Decide On Deck Location
First thing to do, of course, is decide on the location of your deck. You could have it attached to the front of your house, in the back or make it a standalone deck in the garden. You could attach it to your kitchen entrance too. A major issue to be taken into consideration is the accessibility of the deck from your house and the purpose for which it will be used. Once you decide on the location, check the grading of the soil and firmness.

Liquor Cabinet Plans

Ever heard of a uber cool, modern and urbane house, sans liquor cabinets? Not really, right? Thus the point I want to make is that such a house is never complete without a home bar and consequently a liquor cabinet. Sometimes, when you buy a house, it comes with the home furniture, which can also include the liquor cabinet furniture. If it is not, then you have to churn out liquor cabinet plans and build your own liquor cabinet.


Liquor Cabinet Design Ideas

Cabinet Plan 1: Custom made liquor cabinets are very common and you do not have to toil hard to earn your drink 'ye old fella'! You just have to glide into a furniture store or stores (the more the merrier, isn't it?) tell them what you want and voila, you have a liquor cabinet in front of you. Pay the money and get it home. It is as simple as that! In the shop itself you will find various designs and plans of liquor cabinets.

Cabinet Plan 2: Another fantastic cabinet plan is based on the rustic style. Add that country side touch to your liquor cabinet. Make a liquor cabinet in ebony or authentic hardwood with the help of instructions given with the cabinet plans. It is not a herculean task to build this type of a cabinet.
